Hollywood Dateless: Difference between revisions

Line 80:

* "Lowered Expectations" on ''[[Mad TV]]'' their video library allows you to choose from thousands of [[This Loser Is You|chronically rejected singles just as hard up and pathetic as you]]. Their motto: "Lowered Expectations, when you've been blown off by the rest, settle for what you can get!"

* Rachel Berry on ''[[Glee]]''. It sort of makes sense at first since she's established as very obnoxious and the two guys she is romantically involved with in the first half of the season are in a [[Love Triangle]] over a more popular girl. But by the second half she's in the center of her own [[Betty and Veronica]] and throughout the entire series she's had a huge [[Stalker with a Crush]] in the form of a nerd who even at one point blackmails her for her panties.

* Freddie on ''[[~~ICarly~~]]'' averts this, in both ways. He is never considered to be completely inept, but neither is he constantly dating insanely hot girls. 1 date was a [[Femme Fatale]] who was using him to break up their webshow, a second was with a twin he only asked out to prove that it was a trick being played by the original twin, he went to a dance with a wizard that ended poorly, and finally a date with a girl he wasn't interested in due to being forced into a triple date. The only time he's been with a girl he ''really'' likes, it's Carly, but he had been recently hit by a truck and was stuck in bed and then hobbling around on crutches. He also ended their brief relationship because he was worried Carly only liked him because he saved her from the truck.

* Freddie on ''[[iCarly]]'' averts this, in both ways. He is never considered to be completely inept, but neither is he constantly dating insanely hot girls. 1 date was a [[Femme Fatale]] who was using him to break up their webshow, a second was with a twin he only asked out to prove that it was a trick being played by the original twin, he went to a dance with a wizard that ended poorly, and finally a date with a girl he wasn't interested in due to being forced into a triple date.

He also ended their brief relationship because he was worried Carly only liked him because he saved her from the truck.

* Leonard from ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', though a lot of this comes from his experience before he became friends with the pretty [[Girl Next Door]] who gave him a lot more confidence. It was said the only girl of real significance in his life (not counting minor flings) before Penny came around was Joyce Kim, later revealed to have been a North Korean spy pushing him for government secrets. The few times he is seen in a social situation he ''is'' shown to be shy and awkward, but starting in the second season he briefly dated Leslie Winkle and Stephanie Barrett, dated Penny for the majority of the third season and had a long term relationship with Priya Koothrapali that crossed the fourth and fifth seasons. In between those girls, though, it's clear that he doesn't have that great of a social life.

* Timothy McGee from ''[[NCIS]]'', who, while being a geek, manages to get quite a few dates, and still is told that he needs to get out more.
